Stroustrup talks about an upcoming C++ ISO standard,
C++0x (the same nomenclature as "C89", "0x" means the specific
year is undecided, it doesn't mean hex :-).<br>
<br>
He categorizes the additions in three ways, Concurrency, Language, and
Libraries; the concurrency part is about multicore support.<br>
<br>
He writes, 'Basically, the "concurrency" features will standardize the basic layers
needed to do systems programming in a multi-core world. Obviously,
facilities for doing that already exist in C++ implementations, but
they are not standardized. I'd have liked to see library support for
some high-level concurrency models, but the committee didn't have the
time or consensus for that.'<br>
